A long-running, affable science entertainment show built on curiosity and playful experimentation, where failure is celebrated and the hosts' rapport is as central as the myths themselves.

MythBusters is a science entertainment television program created and produced by Australia's Beyond Television Productions for the Discovery Channel. The show's hosts, special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, use elements of the scientific method to test the validity of rumors, myths, movie scenes, adages, Internet videos, and news stories.
